:Just because that may be the present reality of this situation does not make it right, and certainly does not make it fair. The majority of people who live on this planet do not have equal access to technology or education, so how can they possibly compete? It's like having a race with one person two feet from the finish line, and the rest 500 feet back at the starting line.
Furthermore, technological evolution has resulted in a machine taking the place of thousands of workers, not just one. Any idiot can figure out that many people will be left in the cold and denied the right to live independently in a free society.
I would also like to add that the term "man" does not include women, and perhaps you should investigate your own sexist attitudes.
